eio, bnt New York refused to respond,
opening unchanged to 4 up for the active

the colder weather prevailing over the
Western belt. There was very little re-
newer! buying, however, henee prleea• jni-
mediately Iwgan selling off until December
cached l‘V. where soiue support develop-
I and prices rail!oil again. The tone,
however, up to this time Is deelde«lly unset
tled, and It Is difficult to get nil Intelli
gent line on the course of prices for the
next few Unvs. However, we believe that
bottom la about reached for the present,
nnd think well of nurehnae* on n scale
down. Receipts continue to run heavy, but
e are of the (Mdufon that they will begin

i hold back supplies nt this time would
ork a vast Improvement In the market.

speculative element. There Is a steady ex-

trade In flour Is liberal, not only from win

millers on both sides of the Canadian line.
One of the prominent exporters of the coun
try, whose mnny years of experience enable
him to talk with intelligence, points out the
plain common sense view that Is evidently
a vital factor In the present pricemaking
of wheat. American wheat of tho lies!
quality known to the trade Is going on the
basis of aliout 80c per bushel frefi on board
vessel at the seaboard. 'With present mod
erate ocean freight, this gives 11 lower*
priced food supply thnn the consuming
countries have been accustomed to, and
they are, therefore, steady buyers. Thus
far In the crop year, America lias shipped
about 82.000,000 bushels more wheat than
during the corresponding period last year.
Russia meanwhile has shipped about 30,-
000,000 bushels leas, and the Dnuube and Ar-
— short about 25,000,000
and other shipping
countries show trifling gains. Evidence of
